Wow, those cuts must have gone a lot deeper than I thought.theyoungest said:

He can ride a bike... that's all. There's still a massive pin in his leg, and who knows when, and to what extent, he can really use it at full force?Dekker_Tifosi said:According to a conversation Eisinga (from Rabobank) had with Velonation Gesink is already back on the bike and did 200km in 5 days recently. Too early to say if he can go to the training camp in december but it's clear his recovery is going way faster than the predicted 6 months.
If he keeps this up he will probably be in good shape by the time the important spring races start, and reaching the Tour in good form will not be a question

That's the scar on his head? Didn't even know about that. Seems like you need one of those to become a tour winner (Contador, Armstrong...).auscyclefan94 said:Yes, that's a funny shot! You can actually see where Cadel had his incident with horse when he was only a couple of years old.

Parrulo said:i have a very similar one that i got when i was a attacked by an adult german shepherd( the dog not an actually german shepherd ) when i was 6 or 7.
about 25 stitches in my head in almost that shape but on the right side of my head.
maybe i am a tour winner in potential?

Don't insult Parrulo! If he is to be a great classification rider he should not be a Schleck! Though come to think of it, it is reasonable to say that with some of the things Andy said during the Tour that he could have a head injury.Havetts said:Parrulo, think of it. Michiel can be your Cancellara, just you can choose to be Frank or Andy!
Sylvester said:Luca Scinto declares in today's Gazzetta that Farnese Vini will normally be invited to the Ronde, Paris-Roubaix, the Amstel and the E3 if they also race Dwars door Vlaanderen and "another minor race" (probably the Scheldeprijs?). As in recent years they also used to do the Omloop and Kuurne, he expects that they will have no problems entering these races considering Pozzato makes their cobbled team a lot stronger.
Pozzato's early season program will be as follows:
Tour de San Luis
Giro della Provincia di Reggio Calabria
il Laigueglia
the Belgian races
He might also ride a Six Days: Bremen or Berlin. His preparation apparently involves a lot of specific work in the velodrome.
Parrulo said:p.s. my mountain bike is an aluminium bike with no suspension and shimano gears, also has a frame way too small for my current size as i bought when i was like 13 or 14

Moncoutie said:Does he have much competition? Can't think of any cricketers. Aussie Rules, swimmers maybe?
auscyclefan94 said:Not a sport award. It is for anyone. He's up against famous Australian musician Paul Kelly, Geoffrey Rush (actor) and other person who campaigns for disabled peoples rights. Cadel's a good chance but he is up against some stiff opposition. The winners of the Victorian of the Year are the nominees for the Australian of the Year which are announced on Australia Day.
